They had TONS of different cool birds, animals, and pet food galore. The kitty cat was a customer's new kitten, I just got lucky enough to hold the cute little siamese.

OMG, she…read morereminded me when I started menstruating, the ache, pains, bloating, discomfort, kind of losing my marbles of those feelings for the first time. I felt bad for my Sombra even tho SHE was going through a change, and only me, her mommy, had to act very, very fast to try and figure out how can I get her back to feeling somewhat better temporarily. I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver a day or two later. I called Petsmart Merced, spoke to Jonathan and he quickly guided me with some products they may have in stock. Once I arrived, another staffer directed me to the right isle and I was able to view what I believed my kitty needed but I needed Jonathan's feedback too and WE both picked up the same product. Thank Jonathan and team for your assistance to this urgent matter. I would recommend my family, friends and newcomers to Petsmart Merced. Everyone have a wonderful day! Yes, I am calling around for my kitty to be spayed soon I hope. It killed me to see how my Sombra was suffering going into heat.

Once at the register the lady at the check out asked if I wanted a water conditioner, I stated no thank you, she pushed the product, I continued to decline.

Worker walked to the office came back and stated because I wouldn't purchase their water conditioner they wouldn't sell me fish. I stated it was fine and she again pushed the product. I left without purchasing anything. I also did attempt to contact corporate to ask about store policies and they were no help either. Overall it was a very unfortunate experience for me and my daughter.

I really wanted a female Maltipoo so I did my research and found Friendly Acre Farms with mostly…read morepositive results. I could have bought one here in town from a private party for $500 but I thought paying more for a caring, knowledgeable Breeder was the safer way to go. After a few confusing phone calls with Sarah, I made the 120 mile drive to pick up my 11 week old (f) Maltipoo. Prior to picking her up, Sarah's stories kept changing slightly but nothing of major concern. She had been very busy with her church that week and maybe forgot what she had last told me. Keep in mind I don't know much about the business of Breeding. I have been a small dog owner for many years but that's it. I'm a little bit relying on Sarah's expertise. I arrived at Friendly Acre Farms and Sarah came out with my puppy. We talked for 5 minutes or so, I quickly signed some papers, she gave us some dog food and that was it. I just assumed if I needed anything more she would be available on Instagram, DM, or phone. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday my vet was able to see her within 2 weeks. I put her on the Puppy Health Plan, she weighed in at 2.9 lb and looked great. I shared the vaccine record Sarah gave me that only had 3 vaccine stickers on it and no signatures. Sarah had verbally informed me she had all her Parvo shots and should be safe in 10 days after the last shot. Luckily the vet was able to correct that statement. She won't be safe from contracting Parvo for another 4-6 week, once the vet administers her vaccines. I got the impression the vet can't rely on the stickers on her shot record since the shot record was not signed by a vet. Also DOB was incorrect and I had to DM Sarah for that. No other info was completed by Sarah's vet so I'm assuming Sarah never had her seen by a vet?? I don't really know. She verbally told me the mother was 8-10 lb and Father was 5 lb. That's all I received from Sarah for $2,500. That part is all ok really because I let it all happen. I should have known to ask more questions. My vet spoke with me about the dog food Sarah had her on. She said there is a concern by the FDA that grain free food is causing heart problems in young dogs so she asked me to wean her off. I sent a DM to Sarah as heads up since this FDA investigation is fairly new (2023) and she may not be aware. Sarah had not heard about it and was defensive as if I was accusing her of something but I finally got her to understand I was simply sharing information with her. Nothing else. One week later I took my puppy back for a second vet visit. This time she received Shots, DNA/ genetic analysis and fecal exam. One week later my vet called to inform me her lab results indicate she has Giardia, a parasite found in drinking water and dirty kennels. Medication was ordered and hopefully she can clear the parasite from her tiny body. So far she is asymptomatic. My first thought was why didn't Sarah mention this? I would have told my vet immediately had I known. So I sent a DM to Sarah and she said Yes, she knew my puppy had Giardia and she had treated her for it. She said all her dogs are treated for this and other parasites. I asked did you retest to see if it cleared? No answer to that specific question. Sarah started quoting the papers I signed when I picked her up. My concern was the lack of honesty, her concern was that she wasn't responsible. Honesty wasn't listed in her paperwork. Why didn't she tell me this? Was I supposed to know? Then she tells me I can bring my dog back?????? WHAT??? She finally apologized and said she forgot to inform me. Anyway after a few more DM of her pointing the finger at me, I ended with, I just want the truth about my puppy because now I don't know what else my dog may have. I told her I thought she was a bad breeder. I was mad. She blocked me from her Instagram. How silly is that. The moral to this story is listen to your intuition. I knew something wasn't right from the beginning. At the end of the day, my family and I love our new puppy, in sickness and health. For her sake I hope she remains healthy.

For the umpteenth tome I've had to fill out the same paperwork and asked if she had her vacancies. Mind you she goes on a regular basis, like don't you guys keep records? I've been to several groomers in the area and never had to do this at every appointment. Cookie was chewing at her leash the last time she was there she chewed through her leather leash, she never does this when she goes to Dr. Santo's. This is very telling that something is not right with their groomers, because she's never behaved this way at the others. I would not take your fur babies there. They definitely need serious improvement there, before a pet is hurt.

I went to Petco and asked if I could buy a goldfish and explained that I needed to "catch" it myself and asked if I could scoop it out of the tank. I told them I would pay for the fish and then give it right back so they could put it back in the tank. The manager who helped me was very willing to let me do that and video it as well. They didn't charge me anything and set up a separate container with water so I could catch the fish and put it right back in the water in the other container. Very, very nice people who didn't need to help me but did so very graciously!

I couldn't wait to get home and warn customers about their grooming services. How do you know…read moreunless others share their experiences with a specific store and groomer? Ours was Makaylah (also mentioned as sub-par in other reviews here). Special shoutout to the smarmy manager who, previous to our conversation, I heard mocking a man who just had to return something because his cat died, and the "manager" was laughing about it with fellow employees. Real class, dude. The basic gist is we paid for our large breed dog grooming, and when they brought him out, we immediately noticed they hadn't trimmed his ears and knots were hanging off (hack-job?) Then I looked inside, and they hadn't even cleaned his ears (which they had proudly checked off on his discharge papers). His back end also looked uneven, like they hadn't finished brushing him when they tried to trim him? His feet were neatly done. We showed the gal who brought him out, and she seemed to agree, but offered no apology and said we'd have to wait another 35 minutes for someone to come back from lunch (though it would've taken her 5 minutes, tops, right then). Fast forward post-lunch, and rather than apologizing, she tried to gaslight us by saying, "well, you didn't ask for us to do his ears," and I'm like, "you literally checked it off as done." More shenanigans, and the smarmy manager who'd been watching us waiting approached during lunch and also tried to mansplain dog grooming to us. "Well, you have to tell us what you want done," and I'm thinking, do I have to tell McDonald's how to make a hamburger?! You all do grooming as a business, and there should be a standard of training that people go through before working on animals and a set list of things they do. We weren't even asking for a refund or trying to remove the tip. But a "my bad" would've gone a long way. And a "let me fix my mistake real quick" would've gone further. But no accountability and a crappy manager who wouldn't leave it alone and walk away when we were done talking about it means we will NEVER go back or give this company any money. So, now you've been warned. If you choose to go there, be sure to have a full checklist including "wash dog with shampoo" and "brush all 4 of his legs" and then go over the list with a red Sharpie before you pay.
